Looks like the little patch monkey (namely me) which puts my kernels
together forgot to apply a patch. You know you need a break when you don't
even know which kernel you're running! All rather embarassing.

I wouldn't think so, some vmware sessions with 128M RAM which seems to
really use a lot of shmem(?)

nodev                 1.0G  361M  663M  36% /tmp

9.2M    /tmp
9.2M    total

Then there is all the other crap running.
